I would have thought so, too. This is the top of the description file for RSQLite ------------------ Version 1.0.0 Title SQLite Interface for R Package ‘RSQLite’ February 19, 2015 Description This package embeds the SQLite database engine in R and provides an interface compliant with the DBI package. The source for the SQLite engine (version 3.8.6) is included. ----------------- So that is (only?) 5 minor versions behind the current one: 3.8.11.1. There are precompiled versions for each of the three "standard" platforms at the SQLite website. I agree that unzipping a source version seems unlikely to change the compiled engine. If I were trying to be bleeding edgy, which I generally try to avoid, I would have installed the appropriate binary: http://www.sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3081101.zip > Best, > Merton > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > _______________________________________________ > R-SIG-Mac mailing list > [email protected] > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
